Personal
• Chose College of Charleston because she felt like it was a good “all-around fit for me with sailing and academics.”
• Her athletic goals at the College are to “become one of the best female sailors on the team and perhaps eventually team captain.”
• Her career ambition is to “work in print design, photography or photo-journalism.”
• During the summers she works as a lifeguard and as a wakeboard instructor. She also flies kites, paddleboards and flies planes.
• Names her dad as her biggest influence because “he always pushes me to be positive and to do my best no matter what. Military selflessness means a lot to me – I firmly believe in the concept of putting the team before yourself.”
• Intends to major in communications at CofC.
